I couldn't stand it- being all alone in the world. I had just had a letter from them telling me of Doris's father's illness & was going to write her to tell her how sorry I was. He may get entirely over the effects of the stroke. Many people do, and continue on as before though perhaps not as strong. Now do please write me Sidney. There are only a few of us left, and we ought to write to each other often. I am wondering why the funeral [[strikethrough]]is[[\strikethrough]] to be at Saco. I wonder if it was because Harriet was injured & taken to her home. Evidently she was not seriously injured. It will be very terrible for her. But she is young and she has a devoted father & mother to comfort her.- and that is a good deal. Automobile accidents will have an even greater horror for me now. You know I'm afraid this will hit Ralph harder than Mandi even though she was so absorbed in him. Ralph is more subject to depression than she.- and he has been under a strain for a long time that has weakened his nerve force. I feel anxious about him.
Much love to you all Mary
